       B5  Bm  Bsus2  F#  G
Aaaahhhhhhhh...

B5  Bm  Bsus2  F#  G
        Aahh (distant laughs)
B5 Bm Bsus2 F# G B5 Bm Bsus2 F# G [Verse 1]
B5           Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Whisper your name,

         B5  Bm Bsus2   F#  G
in an empty room

B5                Bm Bsus2   F#  G
You brush past my skin

           B5  Bm Bsus2   F#  G
As soft as fur

B5     Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Taking hold

             B5     Bm Bsus2   F#  G
I taste your scent

B5       Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Distant noises

B5     Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Other voices
[Bridge 1]
F#                Em7      F#  G F#  G
pounding in my broken head

F#                 Em7          F#  G F#  G
commit the sin, commit yourself

F#                 Em7        F#  G F#  G
and all the other voices said

F#                       Em7     F# G  A F# G  A
change your mind, you're always... 
(bass riff 1) wrong (bass riff 1) always wrong, (bass riff 1) always... (bass riff 1) wrong [Verse 2]
B5          Bm  Bsus2   F#  G
Come around at christmas

                 B5  Bm Bsus2   F#  G
I really have to see you

B5           Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Smile at me slyly

                B5     Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Another festive compromise

      B5          Bm Bsus2   F#  G
But I live with desertion

                  B5    Bm Bsus2   F#  G
And eight million people

B5      Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Distant noises

   B5    Bm Bsus2   F#  G
Of other voices
[Bridge 2]
C#             D            B A  F# A
Pulsing in my swinging arms

C#                   D         B A  F# A
Caress the sound, so many dead

C#                 D          B A  F# A
And all the other voices sing
C# D (bass riff 1) Change your mind, you're always... [Outro] (bass riff 1) wrong... (bass riff 1) x6 (drums) ********************** v : upstroke picking **********************
